AutoCAD Plant 3D 2026: From P&ID to Plant Design
A detailed, step-by-step course covering the essential tools and workflows of AutoCAD Plant 3D 2026 for professional plant and piping design.
Learn industrial plant and piping design using AutoCAD Plant 3D 2026 through a practical, step-by-step approach tailored for engineers and students. I will teach you how to use AutoCAD Plant 3D 2026 to create P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams), develop 3D plant models, and produce professional engineering documentation.
You will develop the skills required to design piping systems and industrial plant layouts, create intelligent P&IDs, and generate the engineering drawings used in real-world industrial projects. The training also covers isometric drawings, orthographic views, and project report extraction - skills essential for the oil & gas, chemical, and process industries.
Throughout the course, I will guide you through a plant design project, applying each concept in a structured way that mirrors real engineering workflows.
The course also introduces Autodesk Navisworks Freedom, a free tool used to review and navigate 3D models. You will learn how to explore plant models exported from AutoCAD Plant 3D, inspect piping systems, and review the overall layout. This allows you to visualize industrial projects effectively and review models even without having the full design software installed.
